Delhi cricketer Unmukt Chand on Saturday posted an appeal on Twitter urging his followers to provide leads for procuring life-saving drug for Covid-19, Remdesevir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former India under-19 team captain's mother and uncle are admitted in a private hospital in Rohini, New Delhi with Covid-19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Immediately require Remdesevir vials for my mother and uncle who are suffering from Covid 19. Kindly send leads ASAP," tweeted Chand, who guided his team to Under-19 Cricket World Cup title in 2012 with an unbeaten 111 against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As soon as Chand posted the doctor's prescription, several of his followers started re-tweeting his appeal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Help started coming in from several quarters, with fans and friends posting nationwide distributors' list for the drug, which is reportedly in short supply owing to the surge of Covid-19 cases in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Others forwarded links of the company that manufactures the drug while several others gave their contact numbers for immediate supply of the vials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chand, after a stint with Indian Premier League (IPL) side Delhi Daredevils between 2011-2013, was also part of the Rajasthan Royals setup (2014) and Mumbai Indians (2015-16). He represents Delhi in domestic cricket and also had a brief stint with Uttarakhand in the 2019-20 domestic season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He had led India to under-19 World Cup win in 2012.
